Sinks with vintage
I was in the market for sinks. My kitchen, my 4 en-suites and the main bathroom, all required sinks. The reason for this is because my personal en-suite bathroom had come under attack from the cowboy fitter who installed my cabinet above it. He didn’t secure it well enough, and it came down one night on the sink, breaking it in two.
I say ’sinks’ in the plural term, as if one sink is ruined, it would mean that they would not all match anymore! All my sinks in my house needed to be the same style. I am ashamed to admit that I have a small case of OCD, and therfore have a tendency to need things not only done a certain way, but also look a certain way. my sinks was one of those things. the fact that i now knew my sinks would not match was making me throw up in my mouth a little every 10 minutes
it was going to be a mamoth task of replacing the sinks. Most people could just do a bit of researching and find the exact same sink and replace it. No worries. However the sinks in my house were special. They were passed down from generations. My great great grandmother had installed them when she used to live here some time ago. they were priceless.
my OCD was going to take over my life again, I knew deep down, I should let the legacy of my great great grandmother live on through the sinks, yet every part of me wanted to replace to the sinks, I NEEDED them to match.
The sink was on my mind each time I tried to sleep, each time I ate or drank. All I could think about was sinks. Should I replace them or not??
I knew which sink I was after, I knew the size, shape and style. I set off for a trip to replace the old sink. I knew that I needed the best retailer in England if I was going to achieve the VERY best sink. I wasn’t going to settle for less, I wasn’t going to get the bog standard style. I was still disgusted because i had to replace such a treasure, such a delight. One of my Granny’s secrets.
the search engine google saved the day in the end. My life was TRANSFORMED when I found a company who promised me they would get me the sink I wanted when I needed it. I told them the spec and they went ahead and created a special design for me using expert software. It was so immense thati wanted to kiss the young man who helped me.
the brilliant company even came around to my house and fitted the sinks for me, they did an amazing job with hardly any fuss or mess. The sinks were simply stunning and matched the old ones. After a cup of tea, the builder even put more bathroom cabinets up for me!
I don’t think I will be able to face the drama of getting new sinks for my house ever again. I want to pass these sinks on to my great great grandkids!!
